It's good that you know some names, but it's a pity you don't know anything else except names.
Those authors you mentioned are only few names among contemporary Iranian literature figures. I know it's not common for you guys to have authors and scholars, except religious zealots maybe, but even one of those authors has more value than whole Saudi contribution to world of literetare.
Blabbering names is easy, but you should bring some examples too from their works.
Alipayam for instance is an indirect friend of mine, maybe I can raise the issue for him about his anti Arab works which you are yet to bring examples for. Maybe, if I was also living in a country whose most significant modern contribution to world is thousands of suicide bombers, I'd come up with this nonsense too.
PS: Being anti-Saudi is different than being anti-Arabs. Yes most Iranians have extremely negative views of Saudi Arabia, but not for Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Oman, Kuwait or even Egypt. Go figure why.
1. Let's make things clear. I am not against the mutual Persian/Arab racism. To the contrary, I am in its favor as it is a good way to ensure cultural and political distance. I am just responding here to your denial.
2. No, I am not just posting names. My main source of information is a book written by Joya Blondel Saad published in 1996 in English under the title (The Image of Arabs in Modern Persian Literature). It was actually a PHD thesis for the author. This author appears to be either Lebanese or Palestinian American (most likely Christian) and her book was translated to Arabic already. It contains far too many quotes and analysis of the whole mutual racism.
3. In his play, "Parvin, Daughter of Sasan", Sadeq Hidayat says: " no one has harmed us as mush as Arabs. They have destroyed everything we had, they have stolen, burned everything and their army is bloodthirsty....". "..the Civilized Iranians were subjected by the lizard-eaters...".
4. In his poem, "Here and There", Nadir Nadir-poor says: " Iranian Muslims have become ignorant, nomads, and intolerant", "....it is the same Arabian ignorance that has even removed the moon from its orbit....".
5. In his Novel "Isfahan Half of the World", Sadeq Hidayat says: " Arabs that were running after lizards aren't going to have any thinking".
6. In his novel, "Haji Agha", Sadeq Hidayat refers to one of the characters as :" he was listening to radio, suddenly he caught some Arabic music. He felt down on the floor laughing at the donkeys' noise" (meaning the sounds of Arabic).
7. In his novel, "the Patient Rock, Sadeq Jobak says: " what Arabs has brought to Iran is the backward Islam".
I could go on and on, but there isn't' actually a need for that as the book is already out there and can be bought online (if the Mullahs will let you get it through).
